Some were made with aluminum bases I assume to make them lighter. I have found many of them seem to have cracks and breaks in them. I would much rather have the steel ones but you get what you find.

The 70 were made w Cast Iron, Stamped Steel & Alum.
Check the MFG Date/Serial # & don't be surprised to find it was made after WW2 ended.
